Danger

August 23

an excerpt from Flashbang, Mark Steele, p 181-182

You do the same things over and over again. That's not working things out. That's keeping them stale. You can't allow something to fade away and then be angry it's gone.

I would be happy to bring you a miracle, but what you asked for was to be fixed.
~I don't understand. A miracle would fix it.
Certainly. But if you don't change, the same habits will lead to the same paralysis all over again. If you want permanent health, then you will have to change. For you to change it will require a process, not a miracle.
~There's danger involved.
There's always danger involved. This time I allowed you to see it.
~This is a little shocking.
Moments of honesty always are. So the question remains: would you rather have a quick fix or would you rather change? Would you rather be fed miraculously while lost in the wilderness or grow your own food in the land I have promised you?

Miracles are easy, change is hard. Lord, I desire change. Please don't let me settle for a miracle.
